The first thing that you notice when you watch Pete Crow-Armstrong is his ridiculous speed. He hit an inside-the-park home run in 2024, taking just 14 seconds to round the bases. But besides being a formidable baserunner, PCA also sports an elite glove in centerfield and can provide pop with the bat. Crow-Armstrong is the son of two Hollywood Actors in Matthew John Armstrong and Ashley Crow, but instead of making national television in a sitcom, he did it on a ball field. Crow-Armstrong was born on March 25, 2002 in Sherman Oaks, California. He was drafted 19th overall by the Mets in the 2020 MLB June Amateur Draft. He showed talent in the minor leagues, and after being traded to the Cubs in exchange for Javier Baez, Trevor Williams and cash, made his big-league debut in 2023; he struggled mightily, going 0-for-14 in his first games. In 2024, PCA slashed .237/.286/.384 with 10 home runs in 123 games (372 ABs). In that time he had a hot streak that saw him bat .330 with 5 home runs from August 21st through September 20th. With more big-league experience, Pete Crow-Armstrong can become a superstar in the near future.
I just looked up PCA's inside-the-park home run and that was impressive. That kid is fast... and love the hustle.
